A majority of my fellow crossfitters indulge in an after workout shake, so I finally decided to give it a shot. There are a gazillion options to choose from and most people are biased to the one they so take ... and two of my dear friends at the gym rep ON (Optimum Nutrition). I trusted them with the Platinum Hydro Whey, and got samples of the Turbo Chocolate, Strawberry, Cake Batter, Vanilla, etc.

The Platinum Hydro Whey is the "Gold Standard" and has 30 grams of high quality whey protein, only 2 grams of carbs, and all in just 140 calories!! It's perfect for me since I am not a huge meat eater like the hubby. A cheeseburger every now and then is plenty, and my diet mostly consists of chicken and turkey. So, this yummy beverage works for me!

i drink two a day! love optimum nutrition too-- my trainer recommended it to me almost a year ago and i haven't switched yet. you can't go wrong with chocolate, coffee, or peanut butter. i tried cake batter and wasn't a huge fan, but i still have almost half of my 5 pound container left:( they sell it on bodybuilding.com- best prices and you'll have it within a day or 2.
